Speaker

Dr. Bar-Sagi is a cancer biologist widely recognized for her work on pathophysiological processes that drive the initiation and progression of mutant Ras tumors. She has made fundamental contributions to the understanding of the mechanisms that couples extracellular signals to Ras activation of effector pathways that control cell proliferation and survival.  Dr. Bar-Sagi is also credited with the discovery of Ras oncogene-dependent mechanisms that enhance tumor cell fitness via immune evasion and metabolic adaptation.

Dr. Bar-Sagi is the Saul Farber Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology.  Aside of leading her research program, Dr. Bar-Sagi is Executive Vice President and Vice Dean for Science, Chief Scientific Officer of NYU Langone Health.  Prior to joining NYU Grossman School of Medicine in 2006 as chair of the Department of Biochemistry, Dr. Bar-Sagi headed the Department of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology at SUNY at Stony Brook.
